you pick the tread hole angle off the old threads or hole with a center pilot pin in the chuck . has alot to do with what machine i used but brigeport or tobin arp but you roll one angle on the tilt table and cant angle off till head. do them all the time on the brigeport on the tobin arp seat and guide machine.i used time screts for thread repair. you can find angles very easy with a 7/16 theaded stud and i shine the 7/16 stud to my quill of my machine intake is 26 cant is 4 ex is 17 and cant around 4 after heads have been around i pick up off of head not so much what they may or may not be on paper i find it.s abetter way to go
